1Which statement describes the legal organisation of the Romanian lawyer profession under Article 1 of Law 51/1995?

A.It is a state civil service supervised through employment contracts

B.It is free and independent, with autonomous organisation under the law and professional statute

C.Each lawyer may establish a bar outside UNBR

D.Membership of a professional bar is optional

Explanation: Article 1 establishes a free, independent profession with autonomous organisation. Practice requires registration with a bar belonging to UNBR; independence does not remove the statutory membership requirements.

2Which formulation correctly states the professional-secrecy duty in Article 11 of Law 51/1995?

A.It covers only documents marked confidential

B.It ends when the lawyer's mandate ends

C.It concerns every aspect of the entrusted case, subject to exceptions expressly provided by law

D.It can be displaced whenever disclosure would attract public interest

Explanation: Article 11 covers every aspect of the case entrusted to the lawyer and expressly preserves statutory exceptions. The provision must be read with the more detailed professional and procedural confidentiality rules, rather than presented as an exception-free privilege.

3Two individual law offices share technical and economic facilities as cabinete grupate. Under Article 5(4) of Law 51/1995, what happens to their client relationships?

A.They retain their individual identity in dealings with clients

B.They necessarily become a professional company with limited liability

C.Every client automatically becomes a joint client of both offices

D.The grouping automatically transfers each lawyer's personal professional obligations

Explanation: Grouped offices share facilities while retaining their individual identity in client relationships. This differs from associating offices to practise jointly and from forming a professional company with limited liability.

4Under Article 30(5) of Law 51/1995, what status does a lawfully concluded legal-assistance contract have for collecting the lawyer's fee?

A.It is merely an estimate requiring a new agreement

B.It is enforceable only after obtaining a separate judgment on the fee

C.It has the same status as an unsigned invoice

D.It is an enforceable title under the law

Explanation: A legal-assistance contract lawfully concluded is an enforceable title under Article 30(5). This does not dispense with the applicable enforcement procedures or prevent legal challenges to the claimed obligation.

5Which conduct can fall within disciplinary liability under Article 85 of Law 51/1995?

A.Only conduct already punished by a final criminal conviction

B.Breach of professional rules, or conduct connected with or outside practice capable of prejudicing professional honour and prestige

C.Only breaches committed inside a courtroom

D.Only conduct causing a client a quantifiable financial loss

Explanation: Article 85 covers breaches of the law, statute and binding professional decisions, as well as specified conduct prejudicing professional honour and prestige. A criminal conviction, courtroom setting or monetary loss is not a universal prerequisite.

6A lawyer claims that Article 38 of Law 51/1995 grants complete immunity for every statement made while acting for a client. Which response is correct?

A.The claim is correct whenever the client approved the words

B.The claim is correct if the statement was made in writing

C.The protection has statutory limits, including appropriate form and professional-deontology requirements

D.The provision protects only statements that repeat a court's earlier reasoning

Explanation: Article 38 protects qualifying advocacy and legal opinions within its stated conditions. It also requires respect for professional dignity and deontology, and expressly preserves consequences for breaches; it is not personal immunity for every act or statement.

7Which distinction between absolute and relative contractual nullity follows from Civil Code Articles 1247–1248?

A.Absolute nullity protects a general interest; relative nullity protects the particular interest identified by law

B.Both may always be raised by any stranger to the contract

C.Only relative nullity must be raised by the court of its own motion

D.Absolute nullity is always cured by simple confirmation

Explanation: Absolute nullity addresses breach of a rule protecting a general interest, whereas relative nullity protects a particular interest. Their standing and confirmation rules differ: absolute nullity is not generally confirmable, save where the law provides otherwise.

8Before a limitation period expires, a debtor unequivocally acknowledges the creditor's right. What is the ordinary effect under Civil Code Articles 2537 and 2541?

A.The remaining period is merely paused until negotiations end

B.The creditor's right is automatically extinguished

C.The original expiry date remains unchanged in every case

D.The period is interrupted and a new period begins under the applicable rules

Explanation: Acknowledgment of the right by the person benefiting from limitation is a statutory interruption ground. Interruption removes the elapsed time and starts a new limitation period, which must be distinguished from suspension.

9Which claim is the action in revendication described by Civil Code Article 563?

A.A tenant's request for a reduction in rent

B.An owner's claim for the asset against a possessor or holder without a right to keep it

C.A creditor's request to annul every transfer made by a debtor

D.A possessor's claim based solely on disturbance, irrespective of ownership

Explanation: Revendication is the owner's proprietary action to recover the asset from someone possessing or holding it without a right. A possessory action instead protects possession under its own conditions and does not have the same basis.

10Under Civil Code Article 694, what is the maximum term for which a right of superficies may be constituted?

A.49 years, with no possibility of renewal

B.The lifetime of the original landowner only

C.99 years, with renewal possible when the term expires

D.An unlimited term whenever the deed is authentic

Explanation: Article 694 limits the constituted term to 99 years and permits renewal at expiry. Renewal does not make the original grant perpetual, and authentication does not remove the statutory maximum.
